This is described as an interpretation of the original artwork rather than a strict representation, but the designer Stijn Oom – also responsible for last year's set 31215 Vincent van Gogh: Sunflowers – has taken things a step further by using elements in a more advanced way than ever, to represent paint strokes and achieve the original's subtle hues in the available LEGO colour palette.

Reimagining the nuance of the original work in LEGO bricks required certain elements of the work to be abstracted, all while preserving essential details of the composition to evoke Monet’s signature artistic style.

– Stijn Oom, LEGO Designer



In a beautiful touch, the elements used are often appropriate to the scenery but are used to represent something completely different, for example some waterlilies use frogs in their construction, and the lily pads are paint palettes.

The build transforms with viewing distance: individual pixels and textures are visible up close, resolving into a peaceful Impressionist landscape from afar, mirroring the nature of Monet’s later works.

– Stijn Oom, LEGO Designer




Recolours

There are no new moulds, thankfully – the fun is in the nice usage of existing parts that have been recoloured especially for this Monet set. 

Boy did we have fun spotting them (I say we; it was actually all Elspeth) but I'm sure there must be a couple more she missed?
